Vegan in Furs Lyrics
I used to think it black while at my country seat
Now I'm peaking in so many ways
The gloom is in retreat
Yes, the dark epoch is over
I've found my Efeblum
Then passed Ernst's mausoleum defended by a rook
Who shot a look so virulent it pierced me like a hook
The palaver of Solipsists exploding in my skull
Yeah, and we both despise all of the academic swine
Who made the author of "Discus Ulysses" benign
So what if Wednesday finds us
Wearing rabies parachutes
Foaming like the melodies of sea foam fairy flutes?
The atmosphere is viscous, we're sticking to the brine
When the lanterns fill with finches
So begins the brawl
Because their brains are like porcupines
And mine's a paper ball
I know they don't understand, they don't get us at all
Their moss mangles polyanthus
And mine's a paper ball
Now I'm peaking in so many ways
The gloom is in retreat
Yes, the dark epoch is over
I've found my Efeblum
Then passed Ernst's mausoleum defended by a rook
Who shot a look so virulent it pierced me like a hook
The palaver of Solipsists exploding in my skull
Who made the author of "Discus Ulysses" benign
Wearing rabies parachutes
Foaming like the melodies of sea foam fairy flutes?
The atmosphere is viscous, we're sticking to the brine
So begins the brawl
Because their brains are like porcupines
And mine's a paper ball
I know they don't understand, they don't get us at all
Their moss mangles polyanthus
And mine's a paper ball

you know what, i bet it does.
Yes, you've all cracked the code, it's a reference to the VU song, but more importantly is how fun loving nun has completely missed the message behind songs such as this, and Art Snob Solutions. Kevin Barnes doesn't like people who think they're more, "deep" as you put it, than other people.
I think he makes it very clear with lines like...
"Yeah and we both despise all of the academic swine Who made the author of "Discus Ulysses" benign"
that he hates people who think they're smarter than others and/or people that regularly critique works just so they have an opportunity to flaunt their mental prowess.
this song is so fucking awesome.
Anyone know if the title is a pun of any sorts on the song "Venus in Furs?" Really the title by itself is kind of funny
ah i love this song, the bass guitar is pretty sweeeet every song by of montreal is fucking awesome though.
i love the line
"I know they don't understand they don't get us at all"
everyone thinks me and my friends are crazy and weird, but we are just more deep, of montreal has made mec more aware of the world in a way it opened my eyes to other things, and its basically poetry and it challanges my mind, so much goes into these songs so much symbollism and metaphors and greek gods and whatnot its just amazing!
I was also wonderigif it ws a pun of Velvet Undergrounds song "Venus in Furs"??
uhm... yeah
Fun Loving Nun...
words cannot express the irony of your post.
i just like listening...
haha, I've never heard this one song but it made me laugh because of "Venus in Furs" by the velvet underground, I'm sure its fantastically awesome though.
I always thought it was a reference to the book Venus in Furs by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch
